A butterfly just fluttered by
showing me it's colours
spring has sprung, soon summer's sun
its fairy tale will tell us

Are these recent allegations
Of Spring's arrival well founded?
Or will Wint'ry chill's depredations
Return with white drifts mounded?

The battle of the seasons
may last for many weeks
but rest assured that winter
will in the end turn weak smiley - rainbow

I've finally found a native milkweed that can stand the local climate for the monarch butterflys one sees about from time to time to lay their eggs on.

It grows well from cuttings.smiley - smiley

Robins have returned to Michigan. It is curious that our official state bird chooses to winter elsewhere, but when they appear, we all say it is springtime.

The dephiniums have stopped blossoming and are putting on vegetative growth.

The tigridia haven't started blossoming yet but are growing nicely.

The newly planted out daffodils have stopped blossoming and are going dormant.

several of the cacti and succulents are putting on a marvelous floral show, along with the snap dragons, desert petite primrose and popcorn flowers.




Spring cleaning under way.smiley - winkeye

Spring probably arrives earlier where you are than where I am.

This year Spring has yet to come, as it is over a month late. The daffodils have not been long out and yet to see bluebells. It was quite strange to get snow in early April.

I forgot to mention, I have only seen one tree in blossom and all the trees are still blossomless.

Spring? Don't talk to me about spring. Here I am and so far I have only seen winter aconites and a single snowdrop. And on my long walk yesterday I spotted lots of old snowdrifts smiley - erm
